Pride of Waltham Forest Awards

The Pride of Waltham Forest Awards are back for 2023! We can’t wait to once again celebrate the superstars of our borough, and we need your help to find them. Nominations are now open.

The Awards shine a light on those people who go above and beyond to help others, and who make Waltham Forest a great place to live. Whether it’s a sports group that goes out of their way to be inclusive, a local business that gives back to the community, or a neighbour who brings their street together: we want to hear about them. 

You can nominate anyone for an award, a friend or family member, a neighbour, your hairdresser, or someone from your local café, as long as they live in the borough.  

This year, the categories are: 

  • Leader’s Special Recognition Award 
  • Mayor’s Public Service Hero 
  • Environment Champion of the Year 
  • Local Business of the Year 
  • Health and Well-being Champion of the Year 
  • Volunteer/s of the Year 
  • Community Culture Award 
  • Safe Streets Champion of the Year
  • Young Person of the Year 
  • Carer of the Year 
  • ‘My Neighborhood’ Champion of the Year
